I'm so thankful I have a daughter. When all the maniac boys of our neighborhood are going bananas in the street on scooters or bikes, I'm thankful I have someone who wants to hold my hand and go on a walk to look for our favorite flowers. I'm thankful I have someone who notices beauty all around her, and takes time to literally small the roses.
I'm so thankful I have a son. Sure flowers are great, but riding in a cozy car, keys in the "ignition," moving at literally a snail's pace is pretty great too. I'm so thankful I get to look back and see those little feet paddling along, and that little head looking from side-to-side, enjoying the day.
I'm so thankful they have each other, and that they still like to wait for the other to catch up. I'm thankful they care enough to share their discoveries, and that they still want to hold hands on a walk. I'm so thankful I get to see it all!
